The gypsy man struck Elie's father in order to demonstrate his supposed superiority over his prisoners.  


I would like to point out that the gypsy is also a prisoner at Auschwitz.  The Nazis would often use prisoners to guard other prisoners in the concentration camps during World War II.  It seems like an odd system to have prisoners watching prisoners, but the system worked because men like the gypsy would enforce Nazi concentration camp order in hopes of receiving better treatment from the Nazis.  The gypsy's immediate and extreme use of violence against Elie's father allows the gypsy to set a tone.  Elie's father now knows not to mess with the gypsy, but everybody else that witnessed the event knows the exact same thing.  Elie's father asked a simple question.  


"Excuse me…Could you tell me where the toilets are located?"


The gypsy responded by striking Elie's father so hard that he crawled back into line.  The gypsy made an example of Elie's father, and now the rest of the new prisoners know that he (and the other guards like him) are meant to be taken very seriously.

What is the appositive in this sentence?
Gre4nikov [31]
The answer would be C, "actors", because it describes the subject "we" more thoroughly, and that is actually the function of the appositive within a sentence. "Committee" is an indirect object, "we" is a subject, and "award" is a direct object.

Which sentences in these excerpts reflect the idea that war affects not only the minds of the combatants but also their physical
seropon [69]
In O'Brien's excerpt those sentences are: <span>In a way, it seemed, he was part of the morning fog, or my own imagination, but there was also the reality of what was happening in my stomach. This sentence evokes a bodily reaction and calls it "the reality". It is not just imagined; it really happens. </span><span>I tried to swallow whatever was rising from my stomach, which tasted like lemonade, something fruity and sour. It's as if his body has its own way of processing the distressing information. He feels a very specific kind of nausea, triggered by his mental processes.

In Steinbeck's excerpt it's these sentences: </span><span>In all kinds of combat the whole body is battered by emotion. The ductless glands pour their fluids into the system to make it able to stand up to the great demand on it. They describe a very physical reaction, which is a product of emotional distress. It's as if the body is trying to defend the whole system from detrimental factors.</span>

Explain why echoes are undesirable in a big hall
Crank

In experimental physics, reverberation produces echo and thus makes undesirable sound. An echo is a sound reflected off of a surface. In a big hall, it interferes with the actual sound. It gives confusion when people are having a conversation.
